Short filmTranscript
00:00I sat there in horror watching Thomas' legs walk between his bedroom, the kitchen and
00:05the door over and over again.
00:08At one point near the end, stopping to sit at the table and eat something.
00:13I could only guess what.
00:21For context, I met Thomas when we were randomly assigned to be roommates our freshman year
00:27of college.
00:28Nothing seemed to be off with him back then.
00:31Yeah, he was out a lot and came back late at night, but I always figured he was just having
00:35fun with friends.
00:37It's not like I wasn't doing the same.
00:39We had four semesters of living on campus.
00:42Two years.
00:43In that time, he never struck me as particularly eccentric.
00:46Maybe a few little things, like how he never put any food in our mini-fridge, but nothing
00:51that warranted genuine concern.
00:54It wasn't until we moved into an apartment that things started to become… strange.
01:00I moved in about a week after he did.
01:03A few days before classes were going to start.
01:06I was supposed to come in at the same time, but my aunt died and I needed to help my dad
01:12with some aftermath there.
01:13It would have kept me longer had the start of the semester not snuck up.
01:18But that's beside the point.
01:20We viewed the apartment together initially, and it was a pretty nice cosy place.
01:26Not exactly modern, but sure as hell cheap enough to make it worth it without said price
01:31being shady.
01:33Neither of us were bothered.
01:35But when I was finally able to move in, the place looked worse for the wear somehow.
01:39Significant enough that I noticed immediately.
01:42The paint in some places had started chipping severely.
01:45Something Thomas didn't even react to when I pointed out.
01:48The floors were mostly fine, but a few of the boards creaked particularly loud, which
01:53I hadn't noticed at our viewing.
01:55Again, enough that it bothered me.
01:57And still not enough for Thomas to give a damn about it.
02:01Then there was the fact that the lock to the remaining bedroom, mine, was broken.
02:07A problem not very easily fixable on a college budget.
02:10I asked Thomas about that one, making sure he actually answered me, but he just kind of
02:15shrugged it off and told me he hadn't noticed it.
02:19But still, okay, whatever.
02:24Weird, but probably not a big deal besides losing our security deposit.
02:30It didn't matter.
02:31The semester started and the weeks progressed.
02:35And that was when I started noticing things about Thomas.
02:38Living in an apartment instead of a dorm was the most distant he'd ever been.
02:43It's not like he was ever super talkative, but now it seemed like he'd only glance my
02:48way and move on.
02:50Unwilling to do more.
02:51In fact, he only really talked to me if it was to snap at me about being clean or quiet.
02:57With the former, he was only a little bit of a clean freak back in our dorm.
03:01Incessant about his own side, but he only got really pressed about it if any of my mess
03:06seeped into his.
03:07Here and now, though, it really shined through how bad it was.
03:11He never touched my room or anything, but the rest of the apartment had to be spotless
03:15or he'd be pissed.
03:16A few times more recently, he's thrown out my stuff because I hadn't touched it in too
03:21long, whatever that means.
03:22Nothing devastating.
03:23But one of those things was a spare charger I had to dig out of the trash and then get sprayed
03:28down with febrees.
03:30Nothing short of annoying is what I'm getting at here.
03:32But why he suddenly became really anal about it was anyone's guess at that point.
03:38As for the being quiet part, that was an entirely new issue.
03:43Thomas never gave a damn if I was loud while playing a game before, but suddenly now it
03:48was worth slamming my door open without knocking over.
03:51I asked him to, uh, maybe be a little more polite about the issue when it came up, but
03:56I was again sort of just brushed off.
03:59Still, it rubbed me the wrong way how suddenly angry he was getting about the issue.
04:05Yes, it was my fault, and I got better about it.
04:09But what the hell was with the switch-up?
04:12Yet, I still just wrote it off.
04:15Maybe he had some mental or emotional stuff going on?
04:18Hmm?
04:19He didn't want to talk about?
04:21I could be patient with him, sure, but it got worse.
04:27A roommate who clearly labels what food is his in the fridge is nothing to be mad about.
04:32Still, a few weeks into the year I did a deep clean of the refrigerator.
04:38One that, to be fair, I had meant to do as soon as I moved in.
04:42But it was too late for that, and now I had to take everything out to scrub it down.
04:48Only a few things were his.
04:50Most of them in the freezer.
04:52I took them out, setting them aside to clean it up quickly so nothing went bad.
04:57Probably no reason to worry about that, but whatever.
05:00Once I was done, I was checking over everything as I put it back in when I noticed something
05:05with his name on it had an especially pungent smell.
05:09It was awful enough that it made my nose instinctively wrinkle up.
05:13I put it back down, hastily shoving everything else back into the fridge before turning to
05:18it.
05:19Nothing really weird, just a piece of meat in tight saran wrap that looked to be still
05:24a little bloody.
05:25Frowning, I started unwrapping it to make sure Thomas hadn't put rotten meat in the freezer.
05:31The odor only got more foul as I did.
05:34It was a smell difficult to describe, though it was what I was worried about.
05:38Before I actually unwrapped the whole thing, it had a lot of layers, something I only questioned
05:44after the fact.
05:45Thomas came home and stopped dead in the doorway.
05:48Why are you touching my stuff?
05:51He yelled and stormed over after a second, snatching the meat off the table and immediately
05:55starting to rewrap it.
05:57His hands were shaking.
05:58It smells disgusting, man, I told him, stepping back a little.
06:03I wanted to check it wasn't rotten.
06:05It's not.
06:06I'm just on a diet, he snapped.
06:10Don't take my food.
06:12I wasn't taking it, I hissed back.
06:15Don't touch it!
06:16Thomas stuffed the meat back into the freezer at that, then swiftly retreated to his room,
06:22barely opening the door and sliding through, leaving me to scrub my hands of that horrible
06:28stench.
06:29It was then that I really got suspicious of Thomas.
06:33The other weird things layered onto that incident that made me start observing him closer.
06:38I wasn't trying to stalk my roommate by any means, but looking past the surface made
06:43me notice some more things.
06:45How half the creaking boards were in front of his room.
06:49How he always slipped into his room like he was hiding something in there.
06:53That most of his labelled food had that same disgusting odour of death when I checked.
07:00Well, sniff tested them.
07:03After the first time, I was a little scared to unwrap another one.
07:07Maybe it was stupid, but I'd read online somewhere that a reason for creaking floorboards could
07:12be that they had recently been lifted up.
07:15So another little investigation started, this one intentional.
07:20When Thomas left for class, I started checking under the boards.
07:24And it wasn't long before I turned up something.
07:26A handsaw, off-putting thing to be hidden under my feet to say the least.
07:32It looked pretty well warm.
07:34Clean but used.
07:35Aside from the saw, lifting the board let me see a mysterious reddish-brown blotch stained
07:41into the underside of it.
07:43It was enough for me to put the board back and stop thinking about it for now.
07:48At least, until I could come up with a plan.
07:51I had a film major buddy.
07:53And I managed to convince him to let me use an old video camera of his for science.
07:57I hid it in a plant and aimed it at the door to Thomas' bedroom at leg level.
08:04Set up to stay at said friends for the night and then let it play out.
08:08In hindsight, a mediocre video camera was a really shitty pick for this, but it did the
08:13job enough.
08:15I didn't get a live feed or anything, and I was left to wallow in anxiety the whole night.
08:21But when I got back while Thomas was out the next day, I could dig the camera out and watch
08:26what it showed me.
08:27After charging it, anyway.
08:31It caught eight hours of footage before dying.
08:33Most of it was nothing, which I sped through until Thomas walked into frame, emotionlessly
08:38kneeling down and yanking the floorboard up.
08:41I jumped back and let the video play, pulling the handsaw out and putting it down again.
08:46He walked into his room, seemingly stowing it away, then left again for another hour or
08:52so.
08:53When he came back, there was a woman our age with him.
08:56They were talking quietly enough that the video camera didn't pick up the words, but
08:59I could make a guess what it was about.
09:02They disappeared into his bedroom, the lock clicking loudly.
09:06It remained quiet for another moment before the worst, most horribly unsurprising sound
09:10met my ears.
09:11A woman's scream being cut short.
09:13I could barely watch the next two hours of footage.
09:17All that remained before the camera died.
09:20Um, guys, I think my roommate is a freaking cannibal.
09:26After witnessing it, I became haunted.
09:28The handsaw, the smell of blood, the peeling paint on the wall, the girls' terrified screams.
09:36I guess I might be Thomas' next target.
09:40My instincts are telling me so.
09:42I think I should gather all the evidence and report to the police.
09:47Thomas is going to be home from his class soon.
09:51I'm worried he knows that I've got him figured out.
09:55Or at least under enough suspicion to warrant police involvement.
09:58I can't confront him.
09:59That's a horrible idea.
10:02But I think I hear his keys jingling.
10:05So I'm going to have to pass him if I want to go to the cops.
10:08ver...
10:10There is no doubt that theicoarts have covered the Дано Shayville.
10:14I'm a treasury.
10:15There's no doubt.
10:16The oversee noise is��é.
10:17Then there's no doubt in his head.
10:18I'm sorry.
10:19I'm sorry.
10:19See the difference.
10:20There's no doubt in the courts.
10:20I'm stuck with these谢谢 guests.
10:21I'm stuck with the police.
10:22I'm sorry for your ti-
10:26But there's no doubt處 see the type of equipment that your sweater is.
